Part 2:

Let’s finish this once and for all

Welcome to Part 2 of the tutorial. We’re going to be finishing up our bot by adding complex commands! Of course, make sure you have the prerequisites.

Prerequisites

• Node.js and NPM
• A code editor (obviously) — I’ll be using Visual Studio Code from Microsoft
• A Discord and Heroku account

Resuming Step 3: Coding the bot

If you followed Part 1, your code should look like this:
